Three Strategies For Teachers to Work on Confidence - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
One of the most important traits a teacher can bring into the classroom is confidence. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Confidence is "a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or reliance on one's circumstances" and " faith or belief that one will act in a right, the proper, or efficient way". When a teacher is confident in the classroom it will help create a more relaxed and trusting environment.
Personal Experience
Strategy One: Self-Development
Strategy Two: Preparation
Strategy Three: Feedback

Affect, That and Whom - The Three Most Misconceived Words in English Grammar - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
Grammar is the whole system of language. It includes a set of rules known as syntax. Occasionally when working on the computer you may get a message "Error Syntax; code 141" this means you have typed into the computer something that did not fit into the rules. This is not allowed and the computer will reject it and force you to obey the rules.
Affect vs. Effect

What are TEFL standards? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
The concept of TEFL standards can apply to several distinctive aspects of English language instruction and training. We will delve into some of these in more detail below.
Types of regulation: Accreditation and moderation
Types of certificate: Levels and entry standards
Types of course
Accreditation and moderation are two terms that are often mistaken as interchangeable, but they are quite different. Accreditation involves an external validation procedure, in which an authorized entity (like a university) scrutinizes the full course delivery and determines if it fulfills a predefined criteria set for that certificate level. Accreditation is usually granted once for a specific course and may require updating if there are substantial changes in the course or its content.

Key Ways to Motivate Students from Young Learners to Adults - TEFL Blog
Jon ITTT
Alumni Experiences
As we all know, motivation is a core aspect of teaching and learning a language. Lack of motivation is perhaps the biggest obstacle that we face as students and teachers. If a student lacks motivation, he/she will not pay attention in the class or will simply find it boring. At the same time if a teacher lacks motivation to teach he/she will be unable to attract students' attention and give them all they need. Let us be honest and say that intelligent students are those, who always eagerly attend class and enjoy the process. Here we need a highly motivated teacher who is willing help them. In this article I divide students into several categories because different situations require different approaches.

The 3 Crucial Points Why Rapport is Important in the ESL Classroom - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
A teacher-student rapport plays an integral role in promoting positive teaching outcomes. A connection from both the instructor and the student is evident in terms of positive thoughts and an identical feeling of familiarity. In addition to this, a perception of a bond fosters quality interactions where the student feels vulnerable so that they feel confident to share their weaknesses and challenges(Webb & Barett, 2014). Similarly, the relationship is defined by mutual trust, an ingrained sense of connection, and an emotional affinity where the instructor can cultivate the desired outcomes without feeling burdened(Fleiming, 2003).

So speaking activities will come in many different forms but we can generalize them into three basic types.

So, there's a high level of structure within a controlled activity. A guided activity has slightly less structure than this and it can be used in either the study or the activate stages themselves. The final type of activity or class of activity is called creative activity and this one would be used in the activation phase.
